[QUOTE="BigTen, post: 73009"] It is, at the moment, borderline illegal to sell second-hand games at the moment no matter what the format. Just like if you burn a copy of a cd because you listen to it in the car and at home and don't want to constantly move the disc back-and-forth. Even though the above is for personal use you are still making an unauthorised version of it. Selling games is obviously different to making copies of them but the legal standpoint remains the same. You are selling someone else's product without their permission. Just because you bought it in the first place doesn't change that fact. Game manufactures know that it would be near-impossible to stop it and don't waste their resources trying to stop it or risk the negative feedback. I think that Sony wants to stop it - just like a lot of companies - because they want their slice of the action and has "manufactured" this rumour to see what kind of reaction they will get. They will wait to see what the "market's" reaction is and then take the necessary action - denying the rumour absolutely, if required. Companies, and Governments, do this all of the time. [/QUOTE]
